I have 2x roaming charges on my last bill and I never left the country. My family lives in Victoria-BC and I work in Vancouver, so I take that BC Ferries route (that crosses US waters for a few minutes) quite often. My settings are usually set the way you recommend, but for some reason I think it went back to default (software update? I don't know).

Hello ​@Jaqueline 

Sometimes the device is going to catch the network on the other side.

It's a world-wide situation, since the device settings are set to automatically search for the strongest signal.

You can change that in the settings of the device and set it to Manual Network Selection, after it's done searching, you select Koodo and it stays connected to Koodo, even near the border.

I would also advise to keep Data Roaming off while in Canada. This will avoid any accidental charges. We have a great help page here: https://community.koodomobile.com/plans-services-232910/easy-roam-understanding-how-you-will-be-charged-while-traveling-7811296

 

We verified the days with the charge and confirmed accidental roaming. A credit was applied for the fees and will update within 3-5 minutes in the Self Serve account.
